Globalisation can be defined as a process of growing interdependence between all people of this planet. People are linked together economically and socially by trade, investments and governance. Societies all over the world are experiencing the globalisation of more and more aspects of life, but accompanied by the contradictions of growing inequality within and between countries. Certainly, economic globalisation has led to increased wealth for many in some countries. But it also led to shattering economic crises, collapse in standards of living, widespread societal and ethnic conflict, social disintegration and greatly increased insecurity for a disproportionately large part of the world’s population. These volumes attempt to provide in-depth and authoritative information about the pros and cons of globalisation. The set describes the impact brought out in various spheres of life such as trade, economy, industries, education, environment, agriculture, communication and poverty reduction, in eight volumes. It will prove to be a complete reference material for students, researchers, academics and all the concerned.
